Where do you find good quality candidates?

I've had some luck on zip recruiter. You just have to be careful to not leave the job open for too long because they charge you per job posting. Also, in your posting, make sure to ask them to do a lot, not just submit a resume. For us, we ask for 3 pictures of their work and if they don't submit them I don't pass them along. My goal is to make the application process take a little longer so the most interested candidates are the ones i'm spending time on. 

I can imagine finding and hiring pest control techs being a bit more difficult than, let's say, lawn care or cleaning. 🤔

Other than the usual suggestions like job boards and social media (which are great to start with), I would look into local FB groups, community networking groups (someone's son or daughter might be interested in this career path, you never know!), and technical programs/colleges that offer pesticide certification programs and see if you can partner with them for student referrals. 

Going to tag a few pest control members to see if they can chime in with their insights!
